Alot Of Cold Drinks After Hot Rides??

I had a question for you guys and I wish you guys can give me some idea about it .It is about after my training at the evening at about 35Celsius and a big hot sun above my head.When I reach my home after the ride,i simply cant stand the temptation so without any delay I ran into my house and open the big refrigerator and took out the isotonic drink and pour it about 700ml+ at one time into my mouth.Some clubmates told me it is not that good to drink cold drinks after each ride straight away??Is it true about it??Will it affect my imporvement on training??

I don't think it will affect your training - but it sounds like you're not drinking enough during the ride. I live in Northern California and it's often between 35 and 40C when I go out too - in the hills! When I go out for 2 or 3 hours I take 4 large water bottles with me (the Profile seatpost bottle carrier that holds two bottles behind the seat)

This thread from 2006 is a cracker. I didn't reread it but I think from memory there are a few apologises toward the end http://www.cyclingforums.com/t327296.html

The American College of Sports Medicine has issued a position statement on hydration that does comment on temperature: "It is recommended that ingested fluids be cooler than ambient temperature [between 15 and 22C (59 and 72F)]." This certainly is not an advocation of or advisement against drinking ice water after exercise but these recomendations are made generally to race organizers and health club providers as guidelines.

Temp generally doesn't matter but drinking too much water after exercising in extreme heat, can be fatal.

you have to drink just loads of water for this to happen, it happens when people drink too much during the event too. i'm talking after a marathon where one would normally be a few kgs lighter than when you started but you ended up being 3-4 kg heavier, you know you did something wrong... but you have to be drinking enormous amounts of water for this to happen.

it does happen though with all the hype about drink, drink, drink.. if you tell people go this far then they always think if you go ten time farther it's going to be 10 times better.. it is becoming a problem though since i read that boston or ny was considering putting scales at drinking stations so this problem could be spotted since the symptoms are similar to dehydration, but if you make a mistake and give someone with this condition more water you could really put them in trouble.

temp doesn't matter.. if it helps you drink more after the ride then the better. a nutritionist gave a good tip... before your ride weigh yourself and when you get home weigh yourself again and the difference is how much water you need to drink after your ride... you can fill up water bottles and place on the scale 'til you reach your weight from before the ride... i'm not that anal about it but you get the idea... when your hydrated you should weight about the same before and after the ride..

Yes, drinking too much to the point of death is extremely rare, but when I read the hype on hydration it i worth mentioning that the point is not to drink so much water that you bloat yourself

This may be pertinent to the discussion:

Good reading
